Insurers and reinsurers internal model legislative provisions Issued in accordance with the insurance and reinsurance law article 128 i. scope and definitions 1. "insurers and reinsurers internal model legislative provisions (hereinafter referred to as the rules) laying down the requirements for the use of internal models for test, statistical quality standards, calibration standards, the operating profit-and-loss extension to important business units, validation (validation) standards and documentation standards. These rules are also applicable to such data and the models obtained from third parties, as well as a group of internal models. 2. The rules are binding on the insurance companies and affiliates of the Member insurer (hereinafter insurer), as well as reinsurance companies (hereinafter-reinsurers). 3. the terms used in the rules: 3.1 credit risk – loss or negative financial situation changes the risk arising from the issuers of securities, counterparty and any customer kredītstāvokļ fluctuations, insurer or reinsurer and a counterparty default risk, spreads risk or market risk concentrations; 3.2. the probability distribution forecast – a mathematical function that certain groups of mutually exclusive events give the future realization of risk; 3.3. risk (risk measure)-a mathematical function that given the risk exposure of the probability distribution forecast to assign the value in money terms that increase with the risk of a monotone; 3.4. General use of the term corresponds to the financial and capital market Commission (hereinafter the Commission) on august 12, 2015 is the normative regulation No 130 "insurer and reinsurer solvency capital requirements and the calculation of the own funds regulations rules" used terms.
II. the use of the internal model test (use test) the insurer or reinsurer 4. ensure that the internal model is widely used and it is essential for management of the system according to the European Commission's delegated regulations (EU) 2015/35 (2014-10 October), complementary to the European Parliament and Council directive 2009/138/EC relating to the taking-up and pursuit of the business of insurance and reinsurance (Solvency II) (hereinafter – EU Regulation No 2015/35) conditions , in particular: 4.1 risk management system and decision-making processes; 4.2. the solvency capital assessment and placement according to the risk classification, as well as risk and solvency assessment itself. 5. the calculation of the solvency capital requirement of the frequency using the internal model meets the frequency in which the insurer or reinsurer uses other internal model those rules referred to in paragraph 4. 6. the insurer's or reinsurer's Board is responsible for the internal model construction and operations continued compliance with the requirements and that the internal model according to the relevant insurer or reflect the risk profile of reinsurers.
